idb says 1.36m to 2 mill. but right now its going for hardly 200k on the tp.

with 3 air and 3 light and defence of 3 air, should it be reconsidered now? the negative reviews have been due to price. since it has fallen to a tenth of its price, should it be re rated?

I think no.200k is still expensive for what it does.Plus there are many weapons that do the same thing and are much cheaper,such as the legendary Scarab Ring.

It is still expensive. But if it ever falls below 90k, I'm snatching it. Air defence is kinda hard to find in dual duties for now. A good set packed with dual duties that complements it will be awesome.

yeah jacky. scarab ring is great but it doesnt have air defence. its the air defence and air attack that makes it worth considering.

p.s. this is off topic but what is the code for adding a link to the item from idb? i mean the way u can click on "scarab ring" here ad it opens a window

It's pretty simple! Smile

Just type [*idb]Item name[/*idb] (without the stars, of course) and it'll show up like this: scarab medallion.

Good luck finding one for under 90k. It stocks in Desert Weaponry for 90-110k, and restockers are not willing to let it go for cheap.

However, since it's so terribly HTS, the price has dropped to around 150k. I doubt it will go any lower, unless a large number of people with the Scarab Medallions are terribly desperate for them to sell.

thanks cranberry. any idea who is in charge of the idb database and should be contacted for changing the price? and could some of the testers give fresh opinions on the item

nov@choek · 08-29-2006, 11:13 AM

Hmm that would be the admins, I can't change it =/ and yeah the new restock system sure deflated this item, it isn't completely worthless now just still weak, Try to contact the administrators like 92% they have the option to change the prices, regular raters do not.

But isn't it like a golden compass, except for the attack types and defense types? Or does golden compass do more icons?

paul214308 · 08-29-2006, 08:27 PM

golden compass does nine icons. and blocks 2.6 dark. is going for 250k on the tp. Scarab Medallion does 6 icons (3 fire icons less) and is presently trading at around 180k.

During the NCW war, sirhatter explained how air resistance was important and he changed into a pteri. it is one of the most diffficult to block icon types. not that it blocks a lot of icons but mayb it could be considered as one since its price has fallen so drastically
